There is one property which has very special comments about it:



" Isolation ...


This property of ACID is often relaxed (i.e. partly respected) because of
the huge speed decrease this type of concurrency management implies.
...


In reality, many alternatives are used due to speed concerns, but none of
them guarantees the same reliability.  "



Could not be said better.
